I'd like to keep my Wii as is (not obsolete) as I do all of my Nintendo consoles. This is probably an unusual concept if you don't have a massive library of original games with their consoles. I'm not wanting to switch my remotes back and forth though. I'm considering getting a pro controller for the rare guest who would like to play along. Does anyone think the pro controller can be used for NSMB Wii U ?

I was thinking about it but then I saw this.

-Wii software (disc software, WiiWare, VC) must be accessed within the Wii mode and won't appear on the Wii U's menu.
-All software will run in 480p/480i and not in HD.
-Wii games (including VC) will not run on Game Pad.
-You must download all WiiWare/VC through the Wii Shop Channel, not to be confused with the Wii U's eShop. It's unclear whether or not you'll have to re-download all of your old downloadable games through the shop or if they'll come over in the Wii To Wii U transferring.
-WiiConnect24 will not work on Wii U.

The big thing that's bothering me is I'd have to start over several of my games again.

I think I read somewhere that your game saves are also transferable

They are. Pretty much everything is transferable. Also it has been confirmed that NSMB U will not support pro controllers. Only the gamepad and Wii remotes.

This article explains a little about it: http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2012/11/wii_to_wii_u_data_transfer_details_emerge I understand that you'll be able to transfer all games, save game data and even your Miis. I'll transfer everything and, as my launch Wii is dying slow and painfully :( Regards

This may be a silly question, but are Wii games with online support playable online on the Wii U?

Good question actually.
